The President, Sebastian Pinera took the decision after the protests by the protesters turned extremely violent while protesting against the hike in the price on public transportation.

The state of violence can be acknowledged by the action of the agitated mass that looted shops attempted to burn the metro stations and other public transports like buses, lit fire to the buildings of the corporate headquarters and were evidenced by the witnesses, the media which highlighted the video footages of the barbaric activities. The state of emergency in the capital viewed many police officers and the firefighters coming to rescue in order to minimize the damage caused by fire and the out of control situation. The President even had identified the protesters involved in it as criminals and added that a law concerning the security of the state would be invoked in order to accuse them of the damages that they have caused.
